THENING TIlME.
S. A. NETTLES, Editor.
WEDNESDAY, November 21, 1888.
There is some hope that West Vir
a may yet be Democratic which,
if so, will save the House of Repre
sentatives to us.
There is no material change in the
political aspect. The entire national
government is in the hands of our
friends, the enemy.
It is rumored that President Cleve
land will be elected president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, to enter
upon the discharge of his duties next
June.
The law requires all persons who
draw pensions from the State, on ac
count of services in the late war, to
report during this month to the Clerk
of the Court in person, or as the law
directs, the pension will be refused.
We had hoped to have given the
complete State returns to-day, but
the S canvassers have not yet fin
ished their work. Beaufort county is
giving some trouble, and notice of
contests have been filed for that coun
ty, and for the second and seventh
congressional districts.
- The Neos and Courner last Thirs
day issed one of the moetmammoth
ad magi6eent industrial editions we
have ever seen. It consists of fifty
two pages, in addition to the regular
issue. It is one of the most complete
things we have ever seen, giving a
description of every place of interest
in and around Charleston, and con
taining advertisements of all the
leading business houses. We shall
preserve this issue as a valuable book
ef'relerence.
The Charleston Gala Week is boom
ing, so to speak. The citizens have
made great exertions to have a big
thing of it, and we know they will
make no failure. The newspaper re
ports the city to be gorgeously deco
rated, and crowded with visitors, but
that the hotels and boarding houses
can easily accommodate all who come.
The railroad *fare is only nominal, a
cent a mile, and no better opportuni
ty for visiting the old city could be
asked for.
The music house of Ludden &
Bates, Savannah, Ga., either is a
fraud itself or takes the country press
to be fools or frauds. By Monday's
- mail we 'received a seven or eight
inch reading notice with an "offer."
Weere to insert this notice in our
first issue in December, and to en
close in same paper a large circular,
nearly as large as a nage of the
Tuesal for three dollars worth of
goods, on which the presumption is
they would make a hundred per cent.
.To enclose such a circular in a news
erwould be a direct violation of
law, and. would subject its
pato a heavy fine. No, Mr.
lddn& Bates' Music House, we
will not be partices criminis in
* yur fraudulent wor. Besides we
haea jeweler in town, G. Alexan
der, who will sell as cheap as yon of
-fer-, and not-want any fraud practiced
to advertise himn.
Benjamin H. Harrisen.
-e ami H. Harrison, the President of
the United States, was born at NortiaBend,
rnmitncounty, Ohio, on the 20th day of
Aus,1883. He attended.4he Miami
University. Oxford, Ohio, for several years.
and graduated in the class of 1852 as a gpod
may great men have done, not, dangerous
ly near the head of his class.
Iimediately after graduation, he removed
to incnnati, where he studied law, and
*was adnited to the bar in1854. In March
of the same year. he removed to Indian
spokls where he has since resided, and be
ter ee of law. Like many young
kyxbehad a hard time at first, but the
ouentry was new and Harrison had brains
gd en and puck and soon rose toemn
bne. mhsprfson
laQ Oober 180he wa, by a vote of the
eoechosen reporter of the Supreme
aoioflinois. Usheld this position for
two~eee when he resigned, and was comn
missumed in July, 1862, as uecond licuten
ant af Indiana volunteers. He raised Coin
y , fthe Seventieth Indiana Volun
- rfanryand was commissioned cap
tain, and on the organination of the regi
.ment was elected colonel. In Augnist, 1862,
-he went with his regiment to Kentucky,
and served there until mustered out in
June, 1865. In Yebruary.1865, he was bre
vetted brigadier general. Previous to this
bowever, in 1864, while still in the field, be
was r.elected supreme court reporter, and
when wnadatu entered upon tne dui
ties of the position which he held for four
I1826he as nominated by the Repub
lemsa-for Governor of Indiana, but was
.defeated. In 1880 he was elected United
States Senator to sueceed Joseph E. Mc
Donald, Democrat, and took his seat on
March dth, 1881. He served in the Senate
as a ponent Republican member until
dt&4h, 188.,. when his term of office ex
p-ed He then retired to his legal prac
tice, and at the Republican Convention
which met in Chicago on the 17th of June,
was chosen as- the nominee of that party
for the Presidency. The incidents of this
cnvention are still fresh in the minds of
the public. General Harrison was a candi
date from the beginning of the Convention,
but very few persons looked for his nomi
natin, and the overwhelming vote which
he received on the sixth day of its session,
was a srrise to the country.
Genea Harrison comes of a good old
.stock, and is a grandson of the hero of Tip
aowho was chosen President as a
'in1840. What his policy towards
the South will be cannot be forecast. He
has never been an extremte Republican, but
on the contrary, has always rankea among
the conservatives. His record for a public
man is remarkably pure, and he passed
the ordeal of the campaign without having
.a single aspersion east upon his private
- hrer- hareston World.
Levi I'. Horton.
Levi P. Morton, the Vice-President elect,
bas always been better known as a capital
ist than as a politician. He is a shrewd
business man, and has made his fortune
in banking. His political career has not
been a very extensive one. He wac a mnem
ber of (cngress, and served several terms
ini the New York State Senate. His highie*
political honor was his appointment as
3Jinister to France by President Gufidid.
nt arki-Tho:as Affir.
Ccl. .. H. Eark ut in a card, in which
he says, with referenxe to the recent person
al encounter between himself and Mr. Li.
R. Thomas:
't is true that without retiring from the
spot, and within a few seconds after we were
sepanted, I picked up a stick or slat that
was lying on th; gronnd, and with it struck
him over the head. But I did not approach
him from the rear, but each time advanced
and struck him face to face.
"I confess that in view of the office I have
the honor to hold, that my conduct cannot
be justified; that it was my duty to suffer
wrong rather than punish the wrono-doer
by unlawful means, and I have nothing to
say by way of palliation or excuse. I trust,
however, that a brave and generous public
will concede that there are times when 'for
bearance ceases to be a virtue.'

The prediction is made that the next

thus add ten Republican members to the
Senate, and probably increase the majority
in the House materially.

A Battle for Honest Princip!cs.
Nzw Yons:, November 15.-The Heral's
Washington correspondent telegn-'phs as
follows: Distinguished Denmocrat-e lead
ers who recently talked with the President
regarding the election quote Cleveland as
saying: I am told that without the tariff
issue in the last campaig we should1 have
carried the country. Tht may be true,
but the time had come when an issue be
tween two parties had to be made and
Democrats made it. I don't regret it. It
is better to be defeated battling for honest
principle than win by cowardly subterfuge.
Some of niy friends say we ought to have
gone before the country on the clean ad
miistration we have given. the people. I
differ from them. W~e needed a clean-cut,
well-defined iss-ze. We were d-:feated, it is
true, but the principles of tarirT reform will
surely win in the end.
